Animating the critical zone: beavers as critical zone engineers by Clifford Adamchak, Clifford Adamchak, Katherine B. Lininger, Eve-Lyn S. Hinckley, Eve-Lyn S. Hinckley

“…Recent calls to advance river corridor research by leveraging a critical zone perspective can be strengthened through the explicit incorporation of animals, such as beavers, into research projects over space and time. This article illustrates how beavers modify the critical zone across different spatiotemporal scales, presents research opportunities to elucidate the role of beavers in influencing Western U.S. ecosystems, and, more broadly, demonstrates the importance of integrating animals into critical zone science.…”
